Around The Yard

As I was wandering around the yard this morning this what I saw..............................
My girls where there to greet me. They are always early risers, unlike me. I prefer my mornings slow with  several cups of hot tea and toast.

Then I stumbled upon this little bird bath I had somehow forgotten about. It could be because over the summer my Sage had almost swallowed it up along with the sidewalk. It was a gift from my favorite sister in law.



I started with a very small pineapple sage and it grew into a very large plant very fast.

Its a beautiful plant and has a wonderful scent to it. I'm glad it's a perennial. Right next to my sage is of course my favorite rose Mr. Lincoln. They have the most fragrant blooms you could imagine.

Almost ready to bloom again. If you pop off the hips after they bloom they send up new shoots and bloom again really quickly. And when you enjoy the scent as mush as I do you try to encourage it.

I'm going to take a drive to town later in the day, so I'll take pictures for you so you can have a look around.
The closest real grocery store is about 25 miles away, but the scenery is beautiful so I really don't mind it.
You learn rather quickly to make your trips count and not to waste your gas.
